Does the bacon help keep the pork loin from drying out? I've had really poor results trying to smoke whole loins. Even with injecting, wrapping and letting it stand in a hot box the loins always seem to turn out dry when I smoke them.

Thats the reason for the bacon, and temp is crucial

[Oh Mah]

Having them in the pan's is crucial in my opinion.Most just lay on the rack to smoke and almost always dries out.

:yeah:Mine is dry even with bacon, but white meat seems always dry to me.  Not a white meat fan, pork has to be cut thin, then it's more juicy.

Ive tried them all, nothing but issues. i have the austin XL m 3walmart on sale now $460 + $58 for 3 yr warranty. it works flawless, excellent options, no hot spots, amazing machine, extremely happy! can even control auger speed for thicker or lighter smoke, and can cold smoke down to 80 degrees beyond thrilled with it and im a died in the wool coal and wood burner. nice to not babysit it all day.

Excellent to know!
Thanks, KC!

Then it's too hot or cooking too long 👍
